She was flown from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. to be honored February of 2012. There were only two recipients of this first annual award, nationwide. She shaved her head for the role and was credited for this in BuzzFeed Community article, "17 Trail-Blazing Bald Beauties In Hollywood", listed among the likes of Persis Khambatta, Angelina Jolie-Pitt, Natalie Portman, Elliot Page and more. Aranda gained furhter notability in the Entertainment Industry early in her movie career for her producer role in five back-to-back feature films under Plus Entertainment, commissioned for Spanish Television Network, Cinelatino, in 2014. During production, a partnership with Hollywood TV Cops and Hollywood & Vine Talent Casting developed, out of which she landed her most notable roles across feature films, music videos and television shows.
